Many people liked Jeanette Fitzsimons because she rarely did snide attacks on other MPs. The Greens boast about how they don’t do personal attacks. However Russel Norman can’t resist a small amount of putting the boot in:

I have been calling on central govt to consider sewerage systems as important infrastructure and financially support communities like Whangarei to upgrade them. There were 45 raw sewerage discharges last year in Whangarei, many of them in the Harbour. Yuk.

Phil Heatley, the local member, dismissed my suggestion that central government should help Whangarei clean up its harbour with the comment that:

It turns out that Phil too has plenty of reasons to spend other people’s money. But it seems we have different priorities.

People in glasshouses should not throw stones. Maybe someone should remind Russel about how two of his MPs were illegally both claiming an accommodation allowance for the same house – which happened to be owned by the Greens Super Fund.

Let alone how the whole system of having the Greens Super Fund own the Houses that taxpayers paid for, was designed to maximise their entitlements to the accommodation allowance.

We could remember Jeanette’s conflict of interest in having shares in the alternative energy companies she was seeking to regulate in favour of.

We could remember Jeanette illegally burning off on her farm during a fire ban.

Or we could mention La Kedgeley’s conflict of interest over state radio where her brother-in-law is one of the broadcasters.

looking at green activists more broadly, we could talk about the endangered snails that weren’t or the palm oil shipments that weren’t for Fonterra? Or the scientific research vandals at crop and food perhaps? Or maybe just the stubborn ludditism where anything that involves economic prosperity is automatically evil.

but hey, nothing to see here, move along, everyone knows that being green means never having to say you are sorry…

Now you can see that without Rod shes just cut from the same cloth as the rest of them. yeswedid in fact the greens are methodically rooting with their dodgy as hell scheme that DPF just detailed, do you read or just rewrite you talking points from this morning briefing as your own comments? Clearlu not your “thoughts” as you have given no evidence of a thought process.

YesWeDid>I don’t think anyone thinks the Green MP’s are in parliament to line their own pockets or to enjoy the perks of the job

You’re not serious, surely? The Green MPs devised and operate an unethical scheme to maximise the amount of money that we’re putting in to their superannuation, THEN they rorted that further by having multiple MPs claim the same expenses and only stopped when they were caught. They’ve lobbied for government subsidy of industries where they have a clear conflict of interest. They’re second only to NZ First in lining their own pockets at our expense.

Norman epitomises all that is wrong with extreme arrogance of Green/Liberal/Progressive/Communist politics.

In his mind he is one of the nomenklatura, he is one of the elite, he is smarter than everybody else and he just loves to take every opportunity that he can to show how ‘smart’ he is.

Take a look at the idiot next time he is speaking, the smug grin, the “I am right and all of you fools are wrong” attitude and the haughty posture all demonstrate just how much in love with himself he is.

However, do not be upset by this arrogance, every time Red Russ speaks he loses votes, IMHO he should be given far more exposure by the MSM.

big bruv 9:21 .. it’s not just Rustic Russ who speaks with a no-all snide smile on the lips .. check out his co-leader sometime.
It’s interesting that Rustic is concerned about sewerage. Jennette, his former co-leader, had credibility on this subject as her shitter at home was a form of a old fashioned long drop and she dried it off and spread it on her veggies. I wonder what sort of dunny he has at home for his No 2’s
